A fake marriage with a single dad wasn't on my dance card, but there are worse ways to start the summer.
Our story didn't begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago with a hotshot hockey player I couldn't wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell… The memories of teenage Deacon don't hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, 'My wife.'
What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can't control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven't felt in months, and I want more.
More sparks. More life. More time.
Can a relationship based on lies last… Especially when I'm the one keeping all the secrets?
From USA Today and Amazon bestselling author Bella Matthews comes a hot new hockey coach, single dad, marriage of convenience, small-town romance.
